Romney Set to Dominate Tuesday’s Primaries

Whatever the outcome of Tuesday’s primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland, and the District of Columbia turns out to be, it’s time for Rick Santorum to call it quits.  He’s had his day in the sun; he’s shown that he can compete on the national stage; and he’s rehabilitated his sagging political career.  Now it’s time for him to fold up his tent and go home, or he risks losing the credibility and goodwill that he has created.

Going into the primaries, Romney has 568 GOP delegates compared to Santorum’s 273.  To win the GOP nomination, Romney has to win about 46% of the remaining delegates, and Santorum needs to win more than 70% of them.  Although it’s not mathematically impossible for Santorum to win the nomination, the probability of him winning is rapidly approaching zero, especially when you factor into the equation the latest polling data.

The most recent NBC News/Marist poll shows Romney leading Santorum in Wisconsin by 7 points – 40% to 33%.  If that lead stands, he’ll get all of Wisconsin’s 42 delegates.  The latest Rasmussen poll shows Romney leading Santorum in Maryland by 17 points – 45% to 28%.  If that lead holds, he’ll pick up all of Maryland’s 37 delegates.  A few days ago, Romney won a straw poll in D.C. with 72% of the vote while Santorum got just 8.1%.  Although, he has virtually ignored D.C., Romney will win all of the District’s 16 delegates.  As you can see, the math doesn’t look good for Santorum going into Tuesday’s primaries, but it will look worse, much worse, on Wednesday morning.

Thankfully, Santorum has softened his approach a bit lately, and he’s beginning to focus more of his attention on President Obama, but that’s not enough.  He’s becoming a distraction and a problem, and he’s helping to make what promises to be a challenging fall campaign even rougher for Mitt Romney.  Santorum continues to make biting remarks about Romney despite the fact that it’s becoming obvious to almost everyone except Santorum that Romney will be the GOP nominee.  According to the New York Times,

He [Santorum] still reserves plenty of derision for Mr. Romney, mocking him repeatedly as the “Etch A Sketch” candidate whose conservative values are malleable and insincere.”

According to Brad Knickerbocker at the Christian Science Monitor, the 2012 presidential election is now a two-man race between Romney and Obama.  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell agrees.  He told CNBC that “[i]t’s pretty obvious this nomination is essentially over.”  He’s right.  With growing support and endorsements from prominent GOP conservatives including former President George H. W. Bush, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, the writing is on the wall, and it’s becoming clearer by the day.

Ryan’s endorsement was especially timely coming as it did before the Wisconsin primary.  Even more, Ryan is the one man in the Republican Party who has consistently and persuasively presented the conservative case to counter President Obama’s liberal, left-wing agenda.  He stands head and shoulders above other GOP conservatives in that regard.  Ryan knows the facts, and he presents them in an articulate and convincing manner.  According to Jonathan Tobin, a writer for Commentary,

“…Ryan’s backing is a telling blow to any hopes Rick Santorum might have harbored about an upset in the Badger state. Ryan is a popular figure in his home state, and while endorsements do not guarantee votes, there’s no denying it will give Romney a boost at a time when he is maintaining a steady but not overwhelming lead. The warmth of the endorsement and the way Ryan addressed the fears of conservatives about his candidate’s moderate tendencies should also go a long way toward putting a fork in a GOP race that appears to be winding down.”

Santorum’s constant harping about Romney’s supposed lack of conservative credentials is growing tiresome, and worse, it’s hurting the GOP’s likely nominee at a time when he should be devoting all of his time and attention to overcoming President Obama’s double-digit lead in the polls.  Targeting Romney’s conservatism under these circumstances makes no sense.  Hopefully, Ryan’s endorsement will put an end to that kind of nonsense and send the message to Santorum that it’s time to throw in the towel.  To read the rest of the editorial, click here.

Jeremiah 50: 40-43

“As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” declares Yahweh, “No man will live there, nor will any son of man reside in it.  Behold, a people is coming from the north, and a great nation and many kings will be aroused from the remote parts of the earth.  They seize their bow and javelin; they are cruel and have no mercy.  Their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, marshaled like a man for the battle against you, O daughter of Babylon.  The king of Babylon has heard the report about them, and his hands hang limp; distress has gripped him, agony like a woman in childbirth.”

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now.  There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.

Falsely Accused is a true story about a young woman who was accused of committing a double homicide.  It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.  Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided.  They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make.  As they say, forewarned is forearmed.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.
